Richard Branson’s Virgin Money have become the latest in a long line of commercial partners at Manchester United.

The company signed a four-year deal to become ‘Official Retail Financial Services Partner’ at Old Trafford.

Virgin are the 15th financial partner United have on their ever-growing books, with almost 70 businesses from across the world linked to the club.

Utd hopes to become the first British club in history to earn more than £500million in a year.

Branson, who could not help but have his picture taken signing a shirt, said: ‘Virgin and Manchester United have very similar philosophies – we both want to change the game, not just play it.

‘The two coming together under this new partnership with Virgin Money will create something really special.’

United managing director Richard Arnold added: ‘This exciting partnership brings together for the first time two iconic brands, two industry leaders who have never been afraid of entering into new territory.

‘I have every confidence the values we share will make this partnership a great success, above all for our loyal fans, who will soon be introduced to a range of products that will bring them even closer to the club they support.’
